Polymetal International plc
Vesting of the 2017 performance share plan awards
Polymetal announces that 2017 share awards under the Company's Performance
Share Plan ("PSP"), part of the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan, have
vested.
During the four-year performance period ending 19 April 2021 for the PSP
awards made in 2017, Polymetal achieved a positive absolute Total
Shareholder Return ("TSR") of 105.0% and outperformed a median TSR of
25.4% of the FTSE Gold Mines Index constituents. As a result, Polymetal
ranked 6th by TSR out of 45 index participants.
Accordingly, the 2017 performance share awards have vested with 103.0% of
the total awards being granted, which includes 86.9% vesting percentage
based on the TSR performance and additional share awards for the dividend
equivalent paid during the 4-year performance period.
1,575,196 ordinary shares were issued and distributed to 259 participants
of the PSP on 21 and 22 April 2021, representing 0.33% of the Company's
increased share capital. The newly issued shares have a market value of
US$34.7 million, based on the closing price as of 20 April 2021.
"2020 was an exceptional year with massive challenges requiring
outstanding performance to stay on track. Polymetal is proud to reward 259
employees whose dedication and competence drove sector-leading shareholder
returns", said Vitaly Nesis, Group CEO of Polymetal.
Performance Share Plan
Under the PSP, awards are released following a four-year performance
period (with an additional mandatory holding period of one year following
vesting), subject to certain performance measures being met. The vesting
of awards is based on the Company's TSR measured against the TSR of the
FTSE Gold Mines Index constituents, as well as the Company's absolute TSR
over the same performance period. The vesting conditions were set as
follows:
• 0% vests for below median performance;
• 20% vests at median performance;
• 100% vests at top decile performance and above; and
• Straight line vesting in between median and top decile.
• No award vests if an absolute TSR is negative even if performance is
above median.
No consideration is payable for the vesting of the awards by the
beneficiaries. In certain cases of Good Leaver Circumstances, the award
will usually vest as normal in accordance with the terms of the award.
Alternatively, the Board may determine that the award will vest
immediately. For more details on the PSP, please see Polymetal's 2020
Annual Report and Accounts available on the Company's website at
1 www.polymetalinternational.com. Further to the 2017 award vesting,
shares transferred to the Group CEO and Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibilities ("PDMRs") are presented in the table below:
